Hold your lantern high

Search for the glitter of gold

When the cold takes your breath

Feeling under duress

Have faith in the river guide

Hold your lantern high

Search for the glitter of gold

There’s a hole in your chest

Where your lover would rest

Follow the river guide

[Spoken Word]

I was taken to the mouth of the cave

Where it all began

As I entered the cavern

My vision left me

The walls seemed alive

And every step was met with shuddering cold

In the distance a radiating light beckoned

And I made my way forward

Drawing closer my fears left me

And a feeling of comfort

Filled my entire being

There in the chamber filled with light

I abandoned the world above

Hold your lantern high

Search for the glitter of gold

When the cold takes your breath

Feeling under duress

Have faith in the river guide
